Halle Berry confirms to Shadow & Act that she'll be pulling her platinum wig out of storage to reprise her role in comic book franchise X-Men: Days of Future Past. This will be the fourth time Berry will play the warrior queen, despite criticism from some fan boys over her portrayal of the character.
Berry will next be seen in the thriller The Call, in theaters on March 15.
In other casting news, Jennifer Lopez is reportedly gunning for the chance to play Latin pop icon Gloria Estefan in the Broadway musical Do That Conga. J. Lo is said to be going head-to-head with Mexican pop star Thalia for the role. Thalia is married to Mariah Carey's ex, record executive Tommy Mottola.
